redfiona99Rant first: Dear various estate agents but one in particular. I'm not a mind reader, if you're thinking of a property for me but don't tell me about it, I will not know about it.

The TV has been remarkably good recently.
Channel 4 had one of their 15 minute 'Coming Up' shorts called 'Hooked', which probably had too much material for its run time, but what it was was golden. 4 on Demand link is here - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/coming-up/episode-guide/series-6/episode-7
Yolanda was a nervous hair-puller, because of what her mother had said to her when she was little. Not that I recognise that at all, and I don't nervously scratch at myself at all, and it has nothing to do with my grandmother.
ITV3 is reshowing the second Whitechapel, which is always better than I remember it. Mostly because they don't try and sell Rupert Penry-Jones as anything other than a tweedy (if deeply principaled) geek. And they give Phil Davis something to do. If you want me to like your show, giving Phil Davis something to do is a really good way.
how they show that Chandler is aware that his brain is betraying him but he can't do anything to stop it, and that his attempts at self-medication with alcohol tend to end in disaster.
Despite the better efforts of the Christmas break, I'm catching up with Covert Affairs.
I do wish they'd stop shooting location in places I know (including literally outside my friend's flat) and then claiming they're somewhere else.
Auggie and small children! Show, stop it, I love you anyway, you don't need me to love you more. Also Auggie sarcastically owning whichever idiot hadn't got the tour sorted in the scene previous.
I love that Annie wears reasonable clothing on missions. Pant-suits and nearly flats.
And Joan's wiggle at the end!
Damn it, they're giving Ben Mercer a personality, he's definitely dead meat.
Oh that scene with Auggie and Annie. Damn it show, if you want me to ship Annie and Ben or Annie and Jai, don't give me scenes like that.
Ah, Henry Wilcox is staging a power play, and is probably Lisa's source. Also, there are wheels, within wheels etc.
Lone Star is a Northerner. There may have been much giggling.
I knew I recognised Lisa Hearn. It's Angell from CSI:NY.
I love that Annie has no patience with the guys's dick-waving manouvers.
Re: Evil Henry reveal - Called it.
Also I called the death of Ben, although, as they went for a fade to black, it looks like they might be going for a fake-out.
I've seen the advert for 'This Means War' (the Pine vs Hardy for Reece Witherspoon film), I can see why you all hate it. I'm also stuck with the problem that I find neither leading man attractive. However, I will say that Chris Pine seems to suit rom-com more than Kirk. (Yes, I'm being mean, yes, I'm a horrible, stuck-in-the-mud reactionary.)
